The kids absolutely loved it, especially the room – it was super comfortable and clean. Plus, you could step right out to the pool! The mini-mart even had Chinese instant noodles, which was a huge hit after swimming. And the food ordered at the hotel was perfect for Chinese tastes!

The swimming pool is super clean and long. After returning from the sea in the morning, I would relax in the pool after my afternoon nap. It's also just a 3-minute walk to the popular Barwoo restaurant. If you go at 4:50, you can be part of the first wave and avoid the queue! ❤️

The weather was lovely today, and the hotel's exterior color scheme is very beautiful. The blue sky and white clouds really helped me escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

I found this hotel, Dolphin Bay, online and booked it because the price was amazing. I was genuinely surprised after checking in; I never expected such great value for money! Every corner and detail was spotless, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the room was also very quiet. The breakfast was plentiful, and I particularly loved their handmade bread—it was incredibly delicious and full of milky flavor. If you're coming to Bohol on a budget, you definitely shouldn't miss this incredibly high-value hotel! 👍🏻

Our stay at Bohol Dolphin Bay Resort was a great experience overall. The bedding in the room was really comfortable, clean, and soft, so we slept soundly. The breakfast selection wasn't huge, but the food was tasty, and they even had some small snacks, which showed a nice thoughtful touch. The pool was much bigger than we expected and very clean, perfect for relaxing. The location is also good; it's not far from the beach, an easy walk away. If you prefer not to walk, the hotel offers a free shuttle to Alona Beach, which is a big plus. Overall, it's great value for money, and we had a very relaxing stay. We'd definitely consider coming back.

Compared to hotels in Southeast Asia, this place offers great value for money! I was traveling with friends this time. We spent most of our time out and about. For me, the most important things are cleanliness and convenience! The hotel is a 400-meter walk to alone beach, and there's a free shuttle every hour. The best part, though, is the breakfast – for this price point, it's a buffet! They have bread, coffee, tea, fruit, and more! We always left feeling full before heading out for the day!

Very good service. Downsides are the food stops early . Breakfast could have items like yoghurt and more fruit . The bar staff were excellent in the evening and kept me entertained in the pouring rain . Thanks to them both . They like kit-kats 😁
Response from Property: Thank you for your lovely review 💙🐬We’re so happy you enjoyed our service and had a fun evening with our bar team—rainy nights can be special too! 😄 (We’ll remember the Kit-Kats 🍫).We appreciate your feedback about the breakfast options and food hours, and we’ll work on improving these for our guests.Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon!

This resort is supposedly Chinese-owned, and the breakfast really caters to Chinese tastes. There isn't a huge variety, but they have fruits, salads, soup, and stir-fries, with different options every day. I even had crab meat soup, sparerib soup, and green vegetables! It offers great value for money. I stayed here for 4 nights this time and had a wonderful experience. There's a scheduled shuttle service to Alona Beach, which is very convenient. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Bohol!

This hotel is only for guests with very low expectations. Housekeeping is by request, but even then, they usually only cleaned properly on the second try. The rooms are a bit worn. The towels and bedding are gray. The balcony was never cleaned once. Breakfasts are decent.

The room was clean. The hotel stuff were polite and helpful. But unfortunately there were a lot of people in the hotel during our stay there. That’s why there were some problems with breakfast and towels. I also would like to say that this hotel probably was built for Chinese. We weren’t able to change language on TV and it wasn’t possible to watch something. The remote control for air conditioning also has Chinese localization. However, the internet connection was reliable and we watched Netflix on my iPad.
Response from Property: Thank you for your kind and honest feedback 💙🐬We’re happy to hear that you appreciated the cleanliness of the room and the service of our team.We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the number of guests during your stay, which affected breakfast and towel service. We will take steps to improve our operations during busy periods.We also value your comments regarding the TV and air conditioning controls, and we will work on making these more accessible for all our guests.We hope to welcome you back again for a smoother and more comfortable stay!

Spent New Year's Eve with friends on Panglao Island. The hotel's location is great, just a short walk from the beach, and they also offer a free shuttle service which is very convenient. The pool is beautiful, and while the room felt a bit humid, the overall experience was very good. The breakfast was also excellent, highly recommended!
